The U.S. is deploying 3,000 troops to Afghanistan to help evacuate the U.S. embassy in Kabul.
- The embassy is urging all U.S. citizens to leave Afghanistan immediately, as Taliban forces advance towards the capital city.
- Troops will help secure Hamid Karzai International Airport so that Americans can leave via commercial flights. An infantry brigade is positioned in Kuwait to help if necessary.
- What should the U.S. do about the situation in Afghanistan? Is there a chance the troop withdrawal is called off?
